Species Distribution - Spawning grounds of haddock (Melanogrammus aeglefinus) in the North Sea and West of Scotland (Gonzalez-Irusta and Wright 2016)
Spawning layers updated for haddock using ecological niche modelling
The spawning grounds of haddock (Melanogrammus aeglefinus) layer has been generated to identify the likely distribution of haddock spawning in the North Sea and West of Scotland, taking account of certain environmental influences. The map key refers to mean values, where a value of 0 indicates ‘low’ prediction of preference as a spawning ground and a value of 1 as a ‘high’ prediction of preference.

Data was obtained from two surveys; the North Sea International Bottom Trawl Survey (NS-BTS) and the Scottish West Coast Bottom Trawl Survey (SWC-IBTS) to assess the abundance of haddock in spawning stage (HSS) (2009 – 2015). The importance of environmental influences on spawning distribution was then examined using General Additive Models (GAMs). Environmental variables such as water depth, distance to coast, springtide (tidal currents), sediment type, temperature and salinity were considered.
